3.1 About the TP-107V / TP-120 BoardViewTM Kits
The TP-107V is an XGA Line Transmitter that accepts a computer graphics1
video signal and transmits it over a CAT 5 cable.
The TP-120 is an XGA Line Receiver2 that receives a coded CAT 5 signal,
decodes it and converts it to an XGA output.
The kits include two, four or eight TP-107V machines that can be
interconnected (via the combined CAT 5 and K-NET cables, supplied with the
kit) and each assigned a priority number3 (in sequence). Pressing an online
button on any of the interconnected machines transmits the signal from that
machine to the TP-120 receiver, which is also connected to the system (see
Figure 1). The signal is then decoded by the TP-120 and converted to an XGA
output. If the ONLINE button is pressed simultaneously on several machines,
the machine with the highest machine number will transmit the signal to the
receiver.
The priorities of a TP-107V / TP-120 system can also be set by the RC-108 or
the RC-116 presentation controllers4 (see section 3.3) that can determine which
machine in the chain will have access to the TP-120.
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on a 15-pin HD computer
graphics video connector having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA

Overview
3.2 About the TP-107AV / TP-122 Kits
The TP-107AV is an XGA / Audio Line Transmitter that accepts a computer
graphics1 video signal and an analog audio signal and transmits them over a
CAT 5 cable.
The TP-122 is an XGA / Audio Line Receiver2 that receives the coded CAT 5
signal transmitted by a TP-107AV, decodes it and converts it to XGA, stereo
analog and S/PDIF digital audio outputs.
The kits can include two, four or eight TP-107AV machines that can be
interconnected (via the combined CAT 5 and K-NET cables, supplied with the
kit) and each assigned a priority number3 (in sequence). Pressing an ONLINE
button on any of the interconnected machines transmits the signal from that
machine to the TP-122 receiver, which is also connected to the system (see
Figure 1)4. The signal is then decoded on the TP-122 and converted to an XGA
output and audio outputs. If the ONLINE button is pressed simultaneously on
several machines, the machine with the highest machine number will transmit
the signal to the receiver.
The priorities of a TP-107AV / TP-122 system can also be set by the RC-108
or the RC-116 presentation controllers5 (see section 3.3) that can determine
which machine in the chain will have access to the TP-122.
The TP-107AV includes a:
LINE IN CAT 5 connector, that connects to the LINE OUT CAT 5
connector on the previous Line Transmitter
LINE OUT CAT 5 connector, that connects to a receiver (for example, the
TP-122) or to the next Line Transmitter in the chain
CONTROL set of dipswitches
In addition, the TP-107AV:
Can be controlled via RS-485
Has a resolution of up to UXGA
Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for video
Can be upgraded via RS-232 and is 12V DC fed
1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on a 15-pin HD computer
graphics video connector having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA

Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for video
Includes EQ. and level controls
Allows an operation range of more than 300ft. (more than 100 meters)
over standard CAT 5 cable
Is 12V DC fed
3.3 Controlling via the RC-108 and RC-116 Presentation Controllers
The RC-108 and RC-116 are presentation controller units designed specifically
to control a system1. Each presentation controller has the appropriate number of
input selector buttons2, an RS-485 and 12V port and an RS-232
9-pin D-sub port for control and firmware upgrade.
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting only good quality connection cables3, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality, and positioning your Kramer
BoardView Kit away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit4.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 Up to eight and up to 16 units, respectively
2 Eight and 16 buttons, respectively
3 The combined CAT 5 and K-NET cable: C-STP+KNET-6
4 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251
